Which one is for you
Pick AddToAny if
- Fits if you want share buttons without an account or a bill
- Works for sites on WordPress, Drupal, Joomla or a plain script
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a dashboard of shares, as statistics go to Google Analytics
- Too light for social posting or scheduling: it only shares
- Watch out: features can differ between WordPress, Drupal and the plain script
- Watch out: the pages read don't say how the project is funded
Pick Elfsight if
- Fits if you're on Squarespace, Wix or Webflow and want widgets without code
- Works for a site that needs a popup plus a Google reviews feed or a chat button
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to A/B test popups or send leads to an email tool, as neither is on record
- Tight if you're on the free plan, which stops at 200 views a month with Elfsight branding
- Not for you if traffic spikes worry you, as a widget switches off for the month at its view limit
- Pricey if you want several widget types, as each app is its own subscription unless you buy the $15-a-month pack
- Watch out: every widget load counts as a view, so a site-wide popup on 20,000 visitors passes Pro's 50,000
How we grade them
| 3.2GPAAddToAnyVery good | 2.2GPAElfsightFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree, with no paid plan or fee of any kind on the pages we read. | CGraded on the popup app alone. Every widget load counts as a view, so a site-wide popup on a site with 20,000 visitors passes Pro's 50,000 views. Premium is $20 a month billed yearly ($24 monthly), a touch above the lowest-priced popup tools here. Other widgets cost extra. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright: the plugin page says there is no signup or account to manage. | CFree forever, but just 1 widget and 200 views a month, with Elfsight branding, and the widget switches off for the month once it hits that. A popup on a site with real traffic is done on day one. |
| Features | CShare menu, floating share bar, counters and follow buttons. It does a smaller job fully, and it has no dashboard of its own. | CSet beside its listed alternatives, which is fairer for a library of 90+ widgets: the popup handles sales, sign-ups, feedback and cart reminders on chosen pages, with time and action triggers. No A/B tests or email-tool links on record, so it's the basics. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record. Drop in a plugin or a script and the buttons appear, with no account. | CNo rating on record. Each widget is set up from templates in a live editor and pasted in with a short code, and support will install it for you on paid plans. You're still building it, though. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web script plus plugins for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Blogger and Tumblr, a browser extension, a JavaScript API and Google Analytics. | BWeb only, but widgets install on 100+ platforms, including Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify and Framer, or any HTML site. No desktop or phone app, so B is the top. |
| Best for | share buttons for any website | popups alongside reviews, feeds and chat |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
